Right, sorry this is a little late! But I've hardly had a chance recently, and whenever I have come on my laptop I've just gone and forgotten about it!
Hopefully this'll make up for it though!
Is it true? Have the Organization returned for their inevitable revenge?
If so, what is their connection with the new members?
Read on to find out...

Entrance To Oblivion
"DAMMIT, ZEXION! JUST GO BACK TO HELL, WHERE YOU BELONG!!" Riku shouted, running at the Nobody as he simply stood and smirked at Riku's pathetic efforts.
"You're coming with me. Whether you come with me, or I have to drag your unconcious, limp body with me," Zexion's calm reply was, as he looked up to see Riku still running. Zexion sighed, and laughed once more. "Looks like it'll be the latter," he said, as he threw his arm up. Riku suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned expressionless, and simply fell to the ground.
"Wh... What did you do to him?" Sora asked, confused at what was going on. "And why do you need me?"
As he picked up Riku's body, Zexion turned his attention to Sora and answered. "I'll tell you all you need to know... If you just come with me. Or do you want to end up like your friend here?"
Sora looked at Riku, limply hanging over Zexion's shoulder, and he gulped. "Okay, I'll come."
Zexion smiled. "Good. Kairi, Kumo, I'm going to need you two as well." They both complied instantly, not wanting to end up like their friend.
As Zexion opened a portal of darkness, he turned to the others. "Oh, and Leon?"
Leon looked up in reply to this.
"Good luck with restoring this place. I'm... Sorry for what I helped cause." Zexion said, looking down in shame and walking into the darkness with Riku in tow.
"Wait, what do you..." Leon asked, but it was too late, as the portal had already closed.
A ball of darkness shimmered for just a second, before fully growing into a portal to grant entrance into Zexion's secret hideout. As it's energy flowed free, Zexion and his new accomplices walked through, and after making sure they had all done so, Zexion closed it up.
"Well, let's make our way up," Zexion said, in an almost commanding tone.
"Wait, if we had to go up... Why not just bring us through there?" Kumo asked, looking at his surroundings at the same time. They seemed to be in what was obviously once a majestic palace of some kind, as the halls seemed almost endless, with marble columns supprting the ceiling and magnificent carpets draped across the floor.
"It's quite easy to get lost in here if you don't know you're way around, and I highly doubt that any intruder would know their way around here," was Zexion's response to Kumo. Kumo turned and looked down the hall, and saw that it seemed to never end. It was also extremely dark, despite there being chandeliers hanging from almost every available spot of the roof.
After walking up a few flights of steps, and walking through halls that were almost all exactly the same, the group arrived at what Zexion said was their destination. It also seemed a little brighter. What they didn't notice was Riku wake up as Zexion dropped his body on the ground, and the first thing Riku saw as he woke up was Zexion standing above him.
"Well, this is the spo-" Zexion spoke, but was quickly interrupted by Riku.
"Where... Where am I? Why have you brought me here, Zexion?!?" Riku looked as if he was about to shout, but Zexion gestured at him to calm down.
"If you give me a chance, I'm going to explain everything. But first..." Zexion turned to a bookcase that, until now, no-one had noticed. He stroked his finger along one of the shelves, until he found the right book. He pulled it from the shelf, and the bookcase made a noise. As they were all distracted, Zexion quickly clicked his fingers over his lexicon, and it simply vanished in a literal puff of smoke.
Eventually, the entire bookcase had swung wide open, and led to yet another staircase. Zexion led each one of them in, and after looking around to make sure no-one was there, he closed the entrance.
Each of them had finally climbed the staircase, so Zexion sat them all down at a table. There were already five chairs around the table, so each of them sat down at one.
"The others should be getting here soon..." Zexion remarked, looking at the clock on the wall.
"Wait, others? You said it was just us four!" Riku said, looking at Zexion angrily.
"I said I only needed you four to come with me, I didn't say it was just you four," Zexion replied, just as another portal of darkness opened in the room, and a second cloaked figure walked in.
"Man, they're really getting... Wait, what the-?!?" The figure looked at Sora and seemed to stumble back, his hands shaking. "It's hi-him!"
"Man, you really need to calm down-"
"N-NO!! HE'S THE ONE WHO KI-KIILLED ME B-B-BEFORE!!" The figure shouted, stumbling all around the room.
"Oh, for the love of... SHUT UP, DEMYX!!" Zexion shouted, instantly stopping the other Nobody's movements.
"Demyx, Demy- Wait, YOU?!?" Sora shouted, as Demyx lowered his hood. Sora had never learned of his name before, so he had no idea who he was. They both stared at each other in silence, until Zexion coughed and reminded them why they were there.
But before he could continue, they heard the bookcase entrance open. As they looked towards the entrance, three more shadows wearing the same cloaks as Zexion and Demyx walked up. They seemed to be laughing, but when they saw the others, they were silenced. One of them whispered something to the other two, nodded, and walked in while taking down their hood.
"Sora, Riku and Kairi. It's been a while," this figure said in a recognizable voice, taking down his hood to reveal red spiky hair. He also had green eyes and black tear-shaped marks on his cheeks.
"Axel? Is that really you?" Sora questioned, placing his hand to his head and closing his eyes in deep thought.
"You! You're the one who kidnapped me!" Kairi shouted, looking at him in extreme anger.
"Heh heh, you're still as feisty as before!" Axel replied, before laughing and walking further in. "And I see you've introduced yourself to Demyx over here," he said, going over and patting the Nobody hardly on the back.
"Wait, wait. I'm confused," Sora said, getting out of his chair and pacing up and down the room. "I killed Demyx, and Axel died while trying to save me. They're dead. Why are they here? What's going on? Tell me EVERYTHING, Zexion."
"I'm not going to be telling you anything," Zexion replied, turning around to face Sora.
"Wait, you said you were!" Sora shouted, getting ready to fight if need be.
"That was before he came..." Zexion said, pointing to one the shadows still standing in the doorway.
At this signal, they walked out.
"Sora. It's been a while... Just around... A year?" The figure said, as Sora looked at them confused.
"Wait, what? What are you talki-" but he suddenly got a shot of pain in his head, and fell to the floor clutching it.
"Don't worry Sora, that's just those lost memories flowing back in," the figure said, before laughing loudly.
"What are you doing to him? ANSWER ME!" Riku shouted getting out his Keyblade and aiming at the figure.
The figure then turned to Riku, and simply laughed at him. They then pushed their hand into the back of their hood, and pushed it down. They then pulled their hair from out of their coat, and looked at Sora lying on the floor. Sora looked up, and his eyes suddenly grew larger.
"You... You're..." Sora said, trying to think.
"And where are we, Sora? Don't you recognise the walls, the columns? Think, Sora."
That's when Sora suddenly looked around himself, and jumped up with shock. "No, this can't be... Marluxia?"
"At long last, Sora. Welcome back to Oblivion."
----------------------------------
Are the dead coming back to life?
And what do they need with Sora, Riku, Kairi and Kumo?
And what of the second shadow in the doorway?
Who are they?
Find out soon...
Well well, look who's back!
Hope you enjoyed it, because I'm going back to school pretty soon! So this may be the last one for a while!
